Ghor Province

As a traveling USDA advisor, I am now working in the Ghor province of Afghanistan. This is one of the most remote and rural places in Afghanistan. I am working with the Lithuanian PRT here in the province. This area really reminds me of western Nebraska, the landscape is eerily similar. Hope you enjoy pictures of this province.


Here a some boys that wanted to show me their ox. there are no tractors in this area, all farming is done by ox or by hand. Think about that while you aer sitting in you air conditioned John Deere.


Many of the families have a cow that they use for milk. most of the milk is turned into yogurt so that it keeps longer without refrigeration.

Here is a group of boys that wanted their picture taken. They really enjoyed showing me all of their animals.

There is a major river that flows through the valley.

Afghan laundry mat....Here is a group of women washing clothes.

I am assuming this is Lithuanian humor...a mortar shell vase for my plastic flowers
